One of the items that I will be showing will be a video that was created by myself and my math department. If you are looking towards starting Interactive Notebooks, this video gives you a great… Read More Interactive Notebook Set-Up
Hello! I created this “Math About Me” activity as a beginning of the school year and INB set up activity. In my classroom, I will print this front to back so that it is on one paper. I will have the students complete the questions on the first day of class. They will then use… Read More Math About Me – Beginning of the Year Activity
My students LOVE to play SCOOT. In SCOOT, each student has a task card in front of them face down.

Interactive Notebooks have become a HUGE part of my teaching style. I really wanted a reference sheet for the students to place in the back of their… Read More Math Reference Sheet
During this unit, I have been trying to implement projects to create a curriculum that is rigorous and relevant to my students. Our first project during 7.RP was on “Ratios, Proportions, & Scale” and our second project is on “Percents” with a focus on converting fractions, decimals, and percents. In this project, the students will… Read More Percent Project
When teaching fractions, decimals, & percents, I try to make it fun because the students tend to struggle with converting between the three. By bringing in Skittles, the students will be able to complete the activity in an enjoyable way! I did this activity a few years ago and it was a great success! I… Read More Fun with Skittles – An Activity with Fractions, Decimals, & Percents
My goal this year is to implement projects into my classroom. I believe project-based learning is a great method for students to learn. It allows them to get away from the typical “lecture” style classroom and work with materials and ideas that they have not work with before. So, this week I created a “Dream… Read More Ratios, Proportions, & Scale Project – Dream Bedroom
